These jewelry pieces hold great cultural and symbolic importance for these communities. Miao Hmong jewelry are often made of silver, a metal considered precious and symbolizing wealth, protection and prosperity. They are often adorned with complex patterns and traditional symbols important to the Miao and Hmong, such as dragons, flowers, butterflies or birds.
